Bought it when i was 9 for 50 bucks, with a little work (the PO hooked the coil backwards) it was running. Rode it for 2 years no problem. Until we went riding all day and it started smoking BAD. So i parked it and mowed lawns untill i got the money to rebuild it. Then on my 12th birthday everyone’s looking for me and here i come pulling outa the garage on my fourwheeler. Did a victory donut. So then the next week when i was at school my dad decided to use it and well he didn’t pay attention and well wrecked it (front plastics tire rim tie rod and axel were destroyed. I honestly cried. Won’t deny it. Didn’t even have it for a week. So 3 years later (14 almost 15) i was working for this farmer (good ole boy, he lets me hunt his land) and i went into his shed and in the corner was an ’86 TRX350 motor was blown but it had all i needed, he said i could have it and all the parts for 35 bucks. Bought it and was working non stop on mine. So now im 15 and the final problem with her that i should have is now. Timing chain tensioner failed and thectiming chain streched and jumped timing and trashed the cam sprocket. So im saving money for her. While i have it apart im getting the topend bored out.
My 1987 TRX350 build.
So im just bored and wanted to tell the ole 350’s story.
